Two-stage weaning strategy using veno-veno-arterial perfusion for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following cardiogenic shock.

CONCLUSION: Mode-switch from veno-arterial to veno-veno-arterial and weaning via veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation mode is feasible for combined cardiac and pulmonary failure, with promising results due to an optimized pre-pulmonary oxygenation.
